About this product

Up barriers sit above the price and down barriers below it. A knock-out ends worthless when the barrier is touched; a knock-in becomes an ordinary option only once it is.

A knock-out and a knock-in with the same terms add up to the plain option, which is why barrier options are cheaper than plain ones.

What you can change

The contract terms above. Market data, model parameters and numerical settings are fixed for this demo and shown with each result.
